Reported by Siang Liang on Saturday, May 16 2009 12:26 am
With many small form factor mini notebook PCs (or also known as netbooks) available in the market today, which one should you go for? We have a look at 10 current offerings, though in the end, but ultimately, it will still be your choice on the one you like.
The Aspire One is Acer's line of netbooks which was launched in July last year and for this roundup, the manufacturer sent us their Aspire One (model: D250) which is equipped with the latest Intel Atom N280 processor. Our evaluation unit sports a glossy finish with a long hinge that makes the display looked elevated (like the above picture).
